i'm going to make an important point here, jim. when you add up all the loopholes and deductions that upper income individuals can -- are currently taking advantage of, you take those all the way, you don't come close to paying for $5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in additional military spending. that's why governor romney's pledge by not reducing the deficit is by burdening the middle class. the average family with two children would pay $2,000 a year more. that's not my analysis. that kind of top-down analysis where folks at the top make more so the average upper class earner is getting a tax cut to the middle class can pay more, that's not my opinion of a program that works. >> everything he said about my tax plan is inaccurate. if the tax plan he described were something someone offered, i would say absolutely not. i would say no tax cut -- i will not add to the deficit with my tax plan. i will not reduce the amount paid by high-income individuals. i know you and your running mate keep saying that, but it is not the case
